[A/S] Mouse proof! I hope.

["Todd of MN" <tracks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spent my weekend re attatching the belly skin to the frame of the 
trailer and most importantly around the wheel wells where mice can 
jump from the tire to the hole created by lose skin at the ends of 
the well.  I used 1/4" x 1" aluminum bar as a long giant washer to 
hold the lose skin in 
place.  I drilled holes every 2 feet and used self tapping screws 
with large heads to attatch the strips.
I also rebuilt, with aluminum  sheet, the area around the back of the 
black water holding tank where it had rusted out leaving some rather 
large holes for mice to enter and exit freely.  Close inspection of 
the trailer for mouse sized holes revealed that the frame channels 
right behind the hitch are open on the ends!  I made some rectangular 
metal plugs for these would be mouse tunnels.

I now feel that I am ready for a field test.  I darn near wore out my 
traps last summer!
